Farrington High School

Class of 1975

Honolulu, Hawaii


Aloha Governors

VIVA Las Vegas was a BIG SUCCESS! We had about 60 in attendance. The start of the event began with 3 private slot tournaments. We had a terrific turnout. With all the yelling, laughing and most of all the sore arms, we were very anxious to start the next tournament. The BIG KAHUNA paid out a nice sum to 12 classmates. I’m sure we all had a GREAT time.

The theme was School Daze. We had retro candies, questions from the past, telephone wire ring, bubble blowing contest and the hand motion to Hawaii 5-0. Class of 1975 still had the “hang loose” and “da no shame” attitude. “Go team Go”

I must say, 2007 was a very successful year for the Class of ‘75. We were able to have a Birthday Bash on Oahu and in Vegas. We were very fortunate to have generous classmates. Their monetary gifts helped start the checking account and help pay for the website, prizes etc. Others donated door prizes that helped make the events fun. Let’s not forget Star Market, DK Steak House, Libby Manapua, Zippy’s, Sheraton, Quiznos and Creations by Catering gifts helped support our event; we send our MAHALO to ALL.

The website: www.fhs1975.com will continue. We’re looking at having a 35 Year Class Reunion in October 2010 with multiple activities and very possible it’ll be in Vegas. Remember to use the website to update your contact information or read about the upcoming events. You may continue to email the committee members: Jeri Chang: jeri@fhs1975.com Kevin Ching: Kevin@fhs1975.com JoAnn Koide: joann@fhs1975.com with questions or comments.

In closing, I would like to thank the committee members for your commitment, time and donation to help make both events such a success. Thank you to our spouses and families for your support and patience during the past year. And finally to all who’ve attended, donated and supported us. We could not have done it without you.

Take care and I’m looking forward to the next event. ??? 35 year Reunion??? Stay tuned!

Sincerely,
JoAnn Koide
Committee Chairperson

The Oahu Bash was held on January 27, 2007 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. Everyone had a fun time, catching up with our classmates. Some didn't want to leave. We had a lot of positive feedback. Too bad all good things must come to an end.
